Can I live with lacy bug net? Rambo could've. Count on it.
    Rambo on, friends! A lacy bug net may be just the ticket to convince the wife/gf that hangin' in hammock-land is the way to go!

    What dark side....?

    Caleth - what you don't understand is men have been sewing for years. SUITS. its called a Tailor! The finest clothes are produced by intelligent people. I had a unique experience several years back when all the managers from some 10 stores at Mens's Wearhouse were waiting for George to show up for a fun get together. They knew George was running a little late from the airport, and these 10 men went into the back and completed 2 weeks of alterations in one hour in the back of the store..

    Yea that George... Suck successful George!

    There was an Old Man with a owl,
    Who continued to bother and howl;
    He sat on a rail, And imbibed bitter ale,
    Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl

    HAHAHAHAH!!!! Back in high school I once knew a girl who did her prom dress in duct tape! HAH. I actually dated her before hand, I am sap for those hippyish artsy girls.


    Mangus that stove looks great! Nice job. How did you do the feed line? Been wanting to do one of those since I saw them appear on Tinny's Stoves at M.B.D. My MYOG started with alchy stoves as well...then got in to hammocks and my MYOG brain is going crazy. Nothing is safe.

    LOL!!! That is too funny, its like the polarity of advancement of mankind. From rubbing sticks together and discovering fire...to cars! All in one quick conversation.

    Another scots-irish here. I tried on my first kilt yesterday. Looking at a formal one for black tie events and a utility one for camping. Told the missus and her only question was - what do you wear under one of those?

    The first time I went into Joann's I was slinking through the aisles trying to stay below the radar. Now I strut right in like I own the place

    ===> +1 here! I also go there to root for cheap materials for tying fishing flies (feathers, yarns, wires, etc). Has become a fun place for me now!
